GDLS and DAIMLER do common cause

DAIMLER TRUCK and General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) today announced the formation of a strategic partnership to allow for future cooperation in the development, production and service of military logistics vehicles in select markets.

In a recently signed agreement, the two companies committed to strengthening their collaboration in this field. The agreement aims to expand the already tried and tested cooperation they experience within the framework of the Canadian Government’s Logistics Vehicle Modernization (LVM) program, a major contract awarded to them as part of the LVM power team in 2024. The LVM program will deliver more than 1,500 off-road logistics trucks to the Canadian Armed Forces.

The two enterprises intend to tailor their product portfolio even more closely to the requirements of potential customers in other regions and business areas globally and prepare for long-term support with replacement parts and services in the regions concerned.
